Travel at last!

Since returning to the US in July 2007, I haven't left, and ooooooh am I feeling restless. A month or so ago I got my fancy new passport (embedded microchip and all...plus just really pretty art on the pages) and I can't wait for an opportunity to use it. I don't even need to leave the country, though that would be my first choice. I just want to go somewhere!


So, I am absolutely thrilled to have not one but TWO upcoming trips to look forward to: a weekend roadtrip in two weeks to Asheville, NC and (time permitting) Charelston, SC, followed by a spring break trip to Puerto Rico! Oh, and I must add that the sweetest part of the PR trip is the fact that it will be funded with the proceeds of my judgment against my former crazy Philly landlord, which FINALLY (after moving out a year ago!) came through the other day. Did you know in PA that when a landlord withholds a security deposit that they rightfully owe you, you get to ask the court for double? Oh yes! Fabulous law! Long story short, I bet she's wishing she just gave me the amount she owed me when she owed it rather than having to pay double plus lawyer/court fees. Ha!

As I was saying....It's going to be hard to pull myself away from travel guides long enough to read for classes. Maybe come the end of school I can even persuade a couple friends to head north to Montreal with me, and then all my travel wishes will come true! Brief getaways, then the tropics, then finally another country (and poutine)!

Yay!
